Get Involved!

VARC is currently meeting as an "invite-only" group.

Please contact us, tell us who you are, and why you are interested in our discussions, if you want to learn the secret handshake.

We are presently operating along two streams of study that alternate weekly. In the first stream, selected readings are chosen at the previous meeting by participants. Anyone attending the "regular" meetings may propose a reading of interest. In the second stream, a few individuals select the readings to explore an agreed-upon theme over the course of a few months. Of course, as study of the in-depth theme comes to completion, new facilitators will rotate into the next topic.

Practically speaking, one week may be considered a "regular" reading circle meeting, while the following week picks up on the extended theme discussion. That means the third week returns to the "regular" program, and the groups discusses the text chosen by the participants attending the "regular" circle two weeks prior.
